Safronsue's post about her copper pot reminded me. A couple of years ago I made a fleabay purchase (who me? ) of a beautiful old Indian brass cooking pot. It is perfect for cooking a full meal (dal, rice and vegetables/meat slowly on the boiler/woodburner. It's an Annapurna Cooking Co. No. 3 pot - and it's fabulous. I'll post some pictures later, if I can find them.
But it needs re-tinning.
I Googled it and,apart from the fact that it uses some ingredients I wouldn't generally have lying around it looked quite manageable. In fact I read that you can get it done by some bloke on a market stall if you live in the right place - which quite obviously I don't.
OH is adamant this is too difficult a job for us and needs doing professionally but another quick Google shows I'll have to send the bloody thing off to somewhere in the Borders. So a dear do all round - the ingredients (again care of fleabay) would not be too expensive.
Anyway, after all that waffle - has anyone done this? Is it as easy as it appears? Or have I just bought the largest piece of ornamental brassware imaginable?
If Safronsue's pot is salvageable it might be of use to her too.
